The soundtrack is available on Spotify so you can relive the experience when you get home. I am not ashamed to say I felt a tear fall from my eye during this scene. As Vivaldi‘s Four Seasons played in the background we watched the almond blossoms fall from the trees and swirl around us. Sitting there listening to the music as we watched the walls transform felt like a waterfall over my senses.
The whole show is made even more immersive with the incredible score.
And perhaps even take the time to learn a little more about it after the fact. While the show might be missing that high-brow contextualization that many art galleries spend years curating, I think it is a beautiful way to get people more engaged with art. We are inside the ‘ Yellow House‘ or sitting down the ‘ Cafe Terrace at Night.’ The exhibition uses Van Gogh’s dreams, thoughts, and words to drive the experience as a narrative. The flowers, cafes and landscapes suddenly draw us in like never before. The paintbrushes swirl, dance and move around the room. This kind of exhibit might feel as exciting to the modern audience as impressionist paintings once did to a 20th-century audience.īut the paintings are not just projected onto the walls they are also brought to life by subtle animations in the vein of Van Gogh’s art style. It brings a level of excitement and interest to these artworks that a younger generation might be more drawn to. And while this is true, I think there is something to say about this modern technology. And by using projections, all of the three-dimensional aspects of his works disappear. One of the things that made Van Gogh’s artwork so unique is the textural nature of the paint. They think of them as nothing more than empty instagrammable backdrops. I know many high-art critics view this kind of exhibit with a bit of disdain.
And if not impossible, incredibly expensive! Turning Art into Animation Bringing together 300 paintings from Van Gogh together in one room would be something virtually impossible for a brick-and-mortar art gallery. This was my first time viewing such an all-encompassing immersive digital experience, and I was immediately hooked. The first time I saw an exhibition like this was in Les-Baux-de-Provence at the Carrières de Lumières. Beyond Van Gogh aims to create an engaging journey into the world of Van Gogh, not simply show you the paintings on screen. Van Gogh’s paintings were digitally scanned in high-res and then projected onto the walls and floor to create this new way of presenting art. These immersive exhibits are unique as they use cutting-edge projection technology and access digital versions of Van Gogh’s artworks. Through intimate conversations with his dear brother, you learn more about the man behind the madness and magnificence. The show also highlights Van Gogh’s personal letters to his beloved brother Theo. They take lengthy efforts to make the viewer focus on his creative process and the true meaning behind his paintings. But Beyond Van Gogh aims to change that perspective. Many people know of Van Gogh‘s work, but they often think of him as nothing more than a madman who cut off his ear. Especially during the pandemic, these shows have been a hot ticket! Beyond Van Gogh: An Immersive Experience is a new exhibition that aims to show the artist’s work in a new light, using digital technology to transform the artwork. I had heard so much about these immersive exhibitions, which were popping up all over the country. While on my recent trip to Calgary, I was thrilled to see that Beyond Van Gogh was currently on show.
